Another repug failure

Back in 2004 - I remember the day very well - as one George (the chimp) was seeking election, another George (Pataki) did a favor for his little friend. A pleasant ceremony was held at the World Trade Center site, songs were sung, babies kissed, speeches given, the dead of 9/11 crassly exploited, and a cornerstone laid.

All for show. The Times reports that the cornerstone was quietly removed from the site and returned to its quarry, where it will stay until it's needed.

Repugs do great photo-ops, I'll grant that hands down. Other than that? They're not even able to piss a hole in the snow.
